Samantha Singh – JDRF Tampa Bay 2017 Children’s Congress Delegate

May 15, 2017

Congratulations to Samantha Singh who was recently chosen to represent JDRF Tampa Bay at the 2017 Children’s Congress! JDRF 2017 Children’s Congress will take place on July 24-26, 2017, in Washington, D.C.

Every two years, more than 150 children living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) gather in Washington, D.C., to meet face-to-face with some of the top decision-makers in the U.S. government. The children, ages 4 to 17, represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The delegates in JDRF’s Children’s Congress enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help Members of Congress understand what life with T1D is like and why research to fund life-changing therapies until a cure can be found is so critical. They speak up on behalf of the millions of people living with T1D and the families and friends who love them.

We are very proud to have Samantha represent JDRF Tampa Bay in Washington this summer!!
